Audio Problem w/ Big System

eastwest2300

Help Guys,

I have a Pioneer Avic N2 (Flip out/ In Dash DVD) thats going bad (very important point here, the screen went black, amongst many other issues). I have 2 Alpine Type R 12s, 1 Mono block 600w amp for each sub, and 1 Four Channel Amp for the Type R 6.5s and 6x9s.

This is whats going on. I was cruising into work, I've never had any issues with the stereo except for the Head unit, the stereo was not up that loud at all. My subs cut out, but sound was coming through the speakers. I was like WTF?

I get into work, I checked the fuses in the distrobution blocks, to see no blown fuses. I then checked the subs to make sure I couldnt hear a scratching sound or smelled them for blown voice coils. Nothing.

I then checked all the power/ ground connections going into all of the amps, nothing was loose. I drove into work today, still had no power to the subs, but I did notice that when I turned up the volume, minus the subs, the sound would cut out and make a cracking sound in all but 3 of the 4 speakers, and the volume would cut down to almost a whisper out of the driver's side front 6.5.

What do you guys think? Is it possible the Headunit's RCA connections could go bad? Or the Headunit could be so close to death that its causing this issue? Maybe a loose connection somewhere? I've never had an issue with the system until now, and its been in several years now.

Please guys, give me some insight.
thanks.

I'll be handing out eRep all day.
